The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 506 Accompanying Mother

Zhou Xiaomei's sharing at the dinner was very helpful and inspiring to the catering staff present. This is not to say that she is very good, but she just summed up her years of management experience and said it without reservation.

In this regard, she is similar to Lao Tan. She has no reservations about technology or experience, and she can share them.In fact, if you think about it carefully, what is there to keep?

Is the money good?Staying too much and staying for a long time is just a number in the bank. You can't take anything away after you die. It's better to spend it while you're alive to show more value.

On the other hand, after unreservedly sharing the experience that is helpful to others, it seems that others benefit, but in fact it is yourself who benefits the most.Among other things, at least no one scolds, and you have to talk about it. One day, when there is competition in the same industry, you will become friends instead of rivals.

Those who love will return, and those who are blessed will come.

A successful entrepreneur does not have a high IQ, but a great wisdom and a big structure.

If you have the world in your mind, you can fight for the world, and if you patronize others, you can be full of blessings.

In a blink of an eye, Lao Tan stayed in his hometown for nearly a month. His son started school and returned to the provincial capital ten days ago. He didn't go back and wanted to stay for two more days.

When the students started school, the fifth sister started to work, and he had the opportunity to serve his mother at home.

Every morning when I get up to make breakfast, the fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law leave for work after eating, leaving him and his mother at home.

After breakfast, my mother would go for a walk in and out of the courtyard for a while, and after the stroll, she went into the house and squinted, entering a doze state.The big yellow cat of Fifth Sister’s family would sleep next to her mother, snoring comfortably.

It's September, it's early autumn, and it's getting cold in the morning and in the evening.The corn on the hillsides was a little yellow, showing a ripe harvest.The industrious farmers began to prepare for the autumn harvest with joy on their faces.

Lao Tan made tea habitually, and sat under the tree in the yard to drink it leisurely.

This time in the city is when people are busy going to work, the roads are full of traffic and people, even though there is a bright sun above their heads, they have no time to pay attention, and they can’t even feel the coming of early autumn, all they see is the way to work and the irritability .

Hey, it’s better to be in the countryside, look how high and blue the sky is, how clear and clean the air is, how gentle and gentle the cool wind is——

The nose can smell the smell of Chinese cabbage and old cucumbers in the garden, and there are bunches of red peppers with a clear and spicy taste. When the crack is opened, you can see the white and gray beans inside.

The sweet smell of apples and apples wafts from the back of the house, and the jujube trees outside the gate are covered with green and red dates, and the morning light is crystal clear.

The farmers who were grazing their animals in the early morning brought their fed horses, donkeys, cows, and mules down the mountain to go home, and carried the freshly cut grass on their shoulders. When they met each other, they greeted each other familiarly and habitually, and then asked: " Did you go to see the land?"

"Well, look at the ground."

"It looks like it's been a good year."

"Well, not a bad year."

The person who asked the question looked happy, and the person who answered was full of smiles.

Hey, what do farmers ask for, don't they just ask for a good harvest?

During the time at home, Lao Tan felt very good, he ate well, slept soundly, and his heart was pure.To be honest, is it okay to be with my mother every day? People, when will I have a home, and having a mother in the family is the happiest.

My mother is at home, and if my mother is not at home, she will be gone. At that time, returning to my hometown to visit relatives is a different thing and a different taste than it is now.

The young and the young left home and returned to their hometown.

The Gaotang family is still there, and the children are happy to show their loving mother's heart.

Lao Tan ran out of medicine five days ago, so it stands to reason that he should go to the old Chinese doctor in Beijing for a follow-up consultation, and then continue to take the medicine.As the saying goes, a long illness makes a doctor, he now understands his situation very well and feels good, better than when he was in Daqingshan, so he decided to leave two days later.

It can't be too late, after all, the cancer in the stomach is still not healed, and it is a safety hazard.

He decided to leave the day after tomorrow. On Saturday the day after tomorrow, the fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law will rest, and the whole family will be there.

The mother coughed slightly in the room, which was a wake-up signal.Lao Tan got up and entered the room, and his mother was already sitting up.

Old Tan brought the dried water to his mother, who drank half a glass.

"I didn't think about sleeping, I just stared at him," said the mother.

"Hehe, it's good to sleep for a while, and go back to the cage to sleep." Old Tan said.

"When people get old, they don't have that kind of sleep. They are half-yin and half-yang—sleep during the day and sleep at night, and they won't be able to sleep."

"You're okay, you slept soundly at night."

"The main thing is that I have a clean heart, and I don't have those things——your old concubine didn't have it last year, she's [-], she can't do it, it's useless to think about it all day long, and I can't sleep at night, and everyone comes when I close my eyes.

When I went to see her, I told her to reflect on those things, it was useless, when should I leave, how could anyone not leave?Go enjoy the blessing, "

"How many of your old ladies are so open-minded."

"What can you do if you don't look away? Are you living and suffering? I won't do it."

Mother said to get off the kang, Lao Tan hurriedly handed the shoes to him, and then took the walking stick.

Mother didn't use crutches, and didn't use old Tan's help, so she walked out of the house slowly, and sat down under the tree in the yard.

"What a day—" said the mother, squinting at the sky above her.

"Well, I'll make you corn flour porridge or some pimple soup later." Old Tan asked.

The mother pondered for a while and said: "It's enough to eat these two things. After a while, you can roll some noodles and boil them. Aren't there persimmons in the garden, half-pulled is enough, chopped, and two tender ones." Cabbage leaves, also chopped.

Take the two of them and make a marinade, put less oil, just put some chopped green onion, it will be clear, and beat an egg when it comes out of the pan. "

"Okay, it will be fixed in a while."

"I'm not busy, I'm not hungry yet, I can do it when it's ten o'clock. Cook less, and I won't be able to eat too much. The leftover noodles are not good, and I have to feed the chickens."

"It's okay, I'll eat the rest."

After a while, my mother asked, "Is it okay for you to stay at home for such a long time? It's been a month."

"It's okay, fine, the restaurant is in charge." Lao Tan then said: "It's time to go back, the day after tomorrow."

"Let's go the day after tomorrow—okay, let's go, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about what you can eat and drink—you haven't taken medicine for the past two days, it's gone, if you are in charge, go back and grab two more, Sickness can't be delayed, if you want to cure it, you have to get rid of it." Mother said.

"Well, it's fine, you don't have to eat." Old Tan said indifferently.

"If you're in charge, just keep eating, and if you're sick, get treated quickly. The men in your old Tan family don't have a good stomach, especially your people—your uncle died of stomach problems, and so did your second uncle. He's still an official. Asking for money and money and people, but it has not been cured.

Waiting for your dead ghost father to be even worse, the stomach hurts for a lifetime, and eventually the tail moved to the liver, and 53 left——"

Lao Tan listened.

"You and your fifth sister are not in good shape, not as good as me. You can do whatever you like. Your fifth sister is teaching, so it would be better if she didn't have to do crop work. If she did, she would die.

You didn't do any crop work, you went out to work after school.Hey, don't look at me if I don't go out. My stupid head thinks that no matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as at home. How can I earn money?It's not as brisk as planting crops.

If you are sick, treat it as soon as possible, don't delay, money is not earned overnight.Nothing is better than having a good physique. What is the use of how much money you earn after the physique is built? "

Old Tan said: "I'm physically fit, don't worry, Mom."

"Hey, I can take care of it for a few days, that is to say-you have left behind people who are running forty to fifty, why don't you understand? And that big son, he has to lay the foundation.

You don't have to come back to see me all the time, I'm fine with your Fifth Sister, it's okay to live another ten or eight years like this.The main reason is that you have a good physique, and you don't have to worry about children and adults who are not sick or in disaster. "

Lao Tan listened, his nose sore.

Through the wet tears, I saw my mother's hair was as silvery as snow in the halo, shining with loving light.
